Most people consider Hitler's invasion of Russia to have been military suicide.
Actually, the center piece of his strategy was that White Russia and Ukraine would revolt against the Soviets and fight side by side with the Germans.
That was a completely plausible plan - right up to the moment when the German SS showed up and started slaughtering the Jews and the local Soviet intelligentsia and expropriated all the Soviet farmers.
I assume that you have posted that for the benefit of others here at FR who are perhaps not as well-versed in E. European military history. For example, for the benefit of people for whom it was "news" that not all 15 Soviet republics had seats in the U.N. (your post #123), but rather only the USSR itself plus White Russia and Ukraine.
Living in C. Europe for 40+ years, M.A. in Slavonics from prestigious European university, married to Russian Jew with Ukrainian roots who is now teaching German to Ukrainian refugees.
We have lived this history. And what we didn't directly live, we debated with our university profs back in the 80s.
Hence better - when in doubt - to begin such lectures with, "As you probably already know..."
Nichts für ungut!
